The Irish priest admitted sexually assaulted 10 boys in the Diocese of Meath has been sentenced to two years at Trim Circuit Criminal Court.

Fr Raymond Brady from Baltrasna, Oldcastle, Co Meath, acted “like a predator”, said Judge Michael O’Shea, according to the Irish Times.

The 77-year-old priest admitted assaulting the boys, some of them brothers, at different locations including the parochial houses in Drumconrath and Kilbeg and admitted an attempted assault on another boy. According to the Times, abuse also happened in a caravan in Bettystown and in Brady’s car as he took the boys to and from funeral Masses.

The majority of the victims were altar boys aged between 11 and 17.
